Python operators are special symbols used to perform specific operations on one or more operands. The variables, values, or expressions can be used as operands. For example, Python's addition operator (+) is used to perform addition operations on two variables, values, or expressions.
The following are some of the terms related to Python operators:
Python operators are categorized in the following categories −
Let us have a look at all the operators one by one.
Python Arithmetic OperatorsPython Arithmetic operators are used to perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.
The following table contains all arithmetic operators with their symbols, names, and examples (assume that the values of a and b are 10 and 20, respectively) −
Operator Name Example + Addition a + b = 30 - Subtraction a b = -10 * Multiplication a * b = 200 / Division b / a = 2 % Modulus b % a = 0 ** Exponent a**b =10**20 // Floor Division 9//2 = 4 Example of Python Arithmetic Operatorsa = 21 b = 10 c = 0 c = a + b print ("a: {} b: {} a+b: {}".format(a,b,c)) c = a - b print ("a: {} b: {} a-b: {}".format(a,b,c) ) c = a * b print ("a: {} b: {} a*b: {}".format(a,b,c)) c = a / b print ("a: {} b: {} a/b: {}".format(a,b,c)) c = a % b print ("a: {} b: {} a%b: {}".format(a,b,c)) a = 2 b = 3 c = a**b print ("a: {} b: {} a**b: {}".format(a,b,c)) a = 10 b = 5 c = a//b print ("a: {} b: {} a//b: {}".format(a,b,c))
Output
a: 21 b: 10 a+b: 31 a: 21 b: 10 a-b: 11 a: 21 b: 10 a*b: 210 a: 21 b: 10 a/b: 2.1 a: 21 b: 10 a%b: 1 a: 2 b: 3 a**b: 8 a: 10 b: 5 a//b: 2Python Comparison Operators
Python Comparison operators compare the values on either side of them and decide the relation among them. They are also called Relational operators.
The following table contains all comparison operators with their symbols, names, and examples (assume that the values of a and b are 10 and 20, respectively) −
Operator Name Example == Equal (a == b) is not true. != Not equal (a != b) is true. > Greater than (a > b) is not true. < Less than (a < b) is true. >= Greater than or equal to (a >= b) is not true. <= Less than or equal to (a <= b) is true. Example of Python Comparison Operatorsa = 21 b = 10 if ( a == b ): print ("Line 1 - a is equal to b") else: print ("Line 1 - a is not equal to b") if ( a != b ): print ("Line 2 - a is not equal to b") else: print ("Line 2 - a is equal to b") if ( a < b ): print ("Line 3 - a is less than b" ) else: print ("Line 3 - a is not less than b") if ( a > b ): print ("Line 4 - a is greater than b") else: print ("Line 4 - a is not greater than b") a,b=b,a #values of a and b swapped. a becomes 10, b becomes 21 if ( a <= b ): print ("Line 5 - a is either less than or equal to b") else: print ("Line 5 - a is neither less than nor equal to b") if ( b >= a ): print ("Line 6 - b is either greater than or equal to b") else: print ("Line 6 - b is neither greater than nor equal to b")
Output
Line 1 - a is not equal to b Line 2 - a is not equal to b Line 3 - a is not less than b Line 4 - a is greater than b Line 5 - a is either less than or equal to b Line 6 - b is either greater than or equal to bPython Assignment Operators

Output
a: 21 b: 10 c : 0 a: 21 c = a + b: 31 a: 21 c += a: 52 a: 21 c *= a: 1092 a: 21 c /= a : 52.0 a: 21 b: 10 c : 2 a: 21 c %= a: 2 a: 21 c **= a: 2097152 a: 21 c //= a: 99864Python Bitwise Operators

Python's membership operators test for membership in a sequence, such as strings, lists, or tuples.
There are two membership operators as explained below −
Operator Description Example in Returns True if it finds a variable in the specified sequence, false otherwise. a in b not in returns True if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. a not in b Example of Python Membership Operatorsa = 10 b = 20 list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] print ("a:", a, "b:", b, "list:", list) if ( a in list ): print ("a is present in the given list") else: print ("a is not present in the given list") if ( b not in list ): print ("b is not present in the given list") else: print ("b is present in the given list") c=b/a print ("c:", c, "list:", list) if ( c in list ): print ("c is available in the given list") else: print ("c is not available in the given list")
Output
a: 10 b: 20 list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] a is not present in the given list b is not present in the given list c: 2.0 list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] c is available in the given listPython Identity Operators
Python identity operators compare the memory locations of two objects.
There are two Identity operators explained below −
